Monkey: Snuggly pug-mix

Why I'd make a great companion: My color is Perfectly Purple! That means that, though I am ready for a new best friend it might take me a little time to warm up. Typically my energy level is medium to low. I adore snuggling!

During my stay: My caregivers and trainers have worked with me on helping me to become more comfortable sharing my valued resources; since I am still working on this, I would do best in an adult-only home. My doctors have helped me to feel better, as I was sick and injured when I first arrived.

Other things you should know about me: My adoption fee includes my spay / neuter, current vaccinations, permanent microchip identification, a certificate for a free veterinary exam, a gift from Hill's Science Diet, a license if residing in Oceanside or Vista, and limited veterinary medical coverage from VCA Hospitals up to $250!!
